The code of schoolboy honor out
laws tell tale, and there is no mean
ness which high spirited boys more
thoroughly despise.
When Salmon P. Chase, afterwards
senator, governor of Ohio, secretary OF
,he treasury and chief justice of the
United States, was boy, he was at
,chool at Cincinnati.
One day, says the Cleveland Leade,
here was fire made in one OF the
ooms. The boys, were CALLED up anc
atechised as to its origin. All except
chase denied all knowledge of the al
air. When the question was put to
nim as to whether he knew who had
lighted the fire he replied
II do"
"Who was it?"
II will not tell"
The professor grew angry. tn,
president was called in and Chase wa,
gain asked, He again refused, say
ing "Mr. President, did not inten,
to insult Prof. Blank, but l am not 30
ng to lie. know who made the fire
out l will leave the school before
mill hnnor,o n to1l to1o
As he said this his large intellectual
ye loomed squarely into that of TIL
resident, and the latter fully apr,
rated that he meant it. He said tina
ne would excuse Chase this time, an
dismissed him with slight repl
mand.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

HE CteOet0a0 Onlol TTeSS,
of February 23d, 1888, pub
hshed an account Of q fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR., Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration, There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling, henfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy ,forebodings, Finally
the patient was unable to re.
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justif.
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR.
Vance in the presence of DR.
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed IN laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. WheI
this had been done an examin
alton of the organs was made
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was n,
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer
When too late the medical mel
/. discovered that they had mad
a terrible mistake; but the,
sewed the parts together ant
dressed the wound that the,
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and die
in a few hours. How sad j
must be for the husband of thi
poor woman to know that hi
wife died from the effects of
surgical operation that ough

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-09-22

A meeting of citizens residing within the ter
ritory bounded by the canal, Washington and
Illinois streets, was held at No engine house
at the same time that residents Of the north
eastern section of the city were discussing
Major Doxey's proposition. Mr.. George r.
Root, one OF tho leading stockholders Of the In
diam polls Natural-Cas Company, was present,
and strongly opposed favorable action tho
Doxey proposition. He claimed that his
company mad supply Of gas more
accessible than that of the Anderson company
and they would have gas pipsd to the City before
Major Goxey's company could bring 1t here.
The majority of citizens were of the opinion,
however, that they could get gas sooner by en-
couraging Major Doxsy's company than by wait
ing for the Indianapolis Naturalgs gas Company
ing resolution was adopted:
Whereas Major Doxey has SO nobly come to the
relief OF the longing citizens of indianapolis for the
supply Of natural gas IN ADVANCE OF all other COM
panies be it
Resolved, That do hereby agree to patronize
his company in preference to any other to take and
pay him for NIL gas need for heating and lighting
our residences and places of business the stipulated
price adopted by the Indianapolis Council provided
such supply shall have been furnished us by Jan. l,
1883. or sooner
After the adoption of the foregoing. George
A Resner and John Dittsmore were appointed
a committee to solicit citizens residing on Illi-
nois and Tennessee streets to agree to take gas
from Major Doxey's ompany IL brought within
their reach before the frat OF January, 1883.
